Gretchen Olmsted says she remembers the phone call as if it happened yesterday. Jesus "Moose" Chavez, the school resource officer assigned by the Lakewood police department to Alameda International High School, was calling to say he had met her son, Luke, at a Special Olympics event at Jefferson County Stadium. Luke was born with cerebral palsy, confined to a wheelchair and non-verbal, but Chavez sensed an opportunity to bring him joy.
